South Korean court has sentenced a United States soldier for 10 years in prison on Tuesday for rapping a teenage girl. This is the second harshest punishment handed down to a convicted American soldier in nearly 20 years. 21-year-old Kevin Flippin was convicted by Uijeongbu District Court for the sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl numerous times after he bbrokes in to her boarding room near Seoul in September. Flippin had threatened the girl with a pair of scissors, a knife and a lighter. He committed many sexually perverted acts. Flipping also robbed the young girl of 5,000 won (4.50).
Court verdict said the girl felt "terrified and sexually humiliated. Courts ordered Flippin to 80 hours of counseling and made his personal information made public on South Korean government website for the next 10 years. Prosecutors also demanded 15-year prison term. The court decided on a 10-year sentence instead. Flippin got ten year because was still young and the rape was his first crime. Dozens of South Koreans activist rallied by the U.S. Esbassy in Seoul, they chanted slogans and held placecards. One of the placecards read "We need Obama's apology!"
